Hey all
So much to share but just haven't gotten around to posting in English. Sorry! But, if you use google translate and check out Tokyo Urban Permaculture, you might get a glimps....or maybe its finally time to learn Japanese!

I recently visited Satish Kumar at Schumacher College, spent over a week at Plum Village France, went to an AWAKIN CIRCLE in Paris, and finished it off with my first visit to Hunderwasserhaus! So much inspiration.

When I came back the community garden I decided to start the day before I left for my trip was bumpin with food! Yes! How to design yourself out of projects you start, that has been the edge I'm exploring. Nation elections were also happening so I helped anti-war, anti-nuclear power, peace and democracy advocate Miyake Yohei (reggae musician) try to get votes. He didn't make it but he has sparked an interesting youth-centered participatory democracy movement. And and, it looks like we are going to seal the deal soon with the landlord of the future Peace and Permaculture (nonviolence) Dojo in Chiba. Next year I'm hoping to take on some interns, and do a few longer-term workshops like a PDC, nonviolent communication retreat, mindfulness retreat, etc. Japan is happening!!!!!

greetings! You are cordially invited to join us at the 14th Karma
Kitchen event on 24th July. This is a lunch event where guests interact
with each other over a meal. Step into the restaurant and you will be
treated to a meal, paid by our previous customers. You have no
obligations to pay, but you are free to send your kindness and regards
to the next customer. Experience “paying forward”.

At this Karma
Kitchen event, all you need to do is to receive a gift to you from
previous participants and enjoy your meal. After your meal, you will be
given an envelope. You are free to put in any amount of money you wish
to pass on, or you could express your gratitude in any shapes and sizes,
by performing a song, doing a good deed and so on.

The 14th
Karma Kitchen event will be held at a soup café called “Sign with Me”,
where the lingua franca is Japanese Sign Language. Don’t worry, of
course, if you don’t know sign language. It is also an opportunity to
experience diversity. Anyone and everyone is welcome!

(Please note that you are required to fill up the form below for official registration.)

Welcome!

You have arrived to a bilingual blog about sustainability, permaculture, and peace activism. Yeah! Please leave a comment if you feel inspired.Thanks for visiting and I hope you spread the seeds:) *the ratio of English to Japanese changes unexpectedly so if there is a lot of strange foreign characters, check out older articles might have the more familiar alphabet.
